Beware Of the Wall Street Ro,-r.

Extremes proverbially meet, and the
fact is exemplified anew in the love of
boxing, which unites in sort of fellow
ship the gentlemanly broker and the pro
fessional .'bruiser." Many Of the brokers
in Wall street and elsewhere in New York
are surprisingly proficient with the gloves.
They take lessons from professors, and
from awkward noyices who put forward
their right duke as guard they be-
come dangerous antagonists who have
learned to put up their left as guard and
10 strike blows with their right which sug-
gest those Of a Roman battering ram.
Some of them used to take lessons in
iisticutfs in their elegant Wall street offices
from broken noSed and broken down ex-
members of the twentyfo four foot ring at
50 a lesson and in time they became ex-
pert. Many Of the brokers are members
of athletic clubs and they use the gloves
there. 1t is no longer safe for bully TO

tion that he cannot Use his hands. Some
OF the roughs OF the Sixth ward have had

one which was both happy and useful,
had the misfortune at that time to in
herit from a relative a fortune of some

with an acutely sensitive New England

good with his wealth, but he was almost
morbidly afraid that through ignorance

literally agonized over the things he de-
